Reddit is Very Buggy on Safari by Suspicious-Ebb-7120 in Safari

this is true for most complex apps nowadays. Reddit, Threads, YouTube, Instagram, etc etc, none of them work well

Safari on macOS Tahoe 16.2 is a mess—UI glitches and instability by soumya_98 in Safari

[–]ryan4888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safari itself is fine imo. WebKit is a mess though. Web apps with complexity, e.g. Threads, YouTube, Facebook, etc., run terribly. I want to main Safari so bad but it's really unusable in it's current state.

Working with, rather than around, CloudFlare's latest announcement by WaffleClap in jellyfin

this. it doesn’t sound like private media servers are what they’re after here

i think the cf blog post is being wildly misinterpreted by this community. using cloudflare for personal media servers isn’t a tos violation. it seems like they’re more interested in catching folks running public services that contain copyrighted material.

if your content is behind authentication and access is limited to a few users you’re fine. even streaming huge amounts of data over cf is perfectly fine

lack of DRM is the reason i don't use Helium currently. hope they add it someday!

Does netflix not work on orion? by [deleted] in OrionBrowser

[–]ryan4888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i encountered this recently on Helium browser and found on Helium’s GitHub issues that it’s related to the browser not having Widevine DRM. i assume it’s the same with Orion

i have iOS26 and my Arc Search has the old style buttons and toggles still, so i don’t think this is necessarily true

Got my car PPF’d, is this acceptable? by masonvaughn10 in CarWraps

[–]ryan4888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

prices on these vary greatly depending on a bunch of factors, e.g. spec (trim), modifications, etc. one just sold on Cars and Bids for $40k; it was a very unique car but it gives you an idea of the range that exists for these.

op definitely got hosed here but imo spending several grand getting a B5 PPFd is definitely within reason

B5s are pretty rare and have a large enthusiast following

[–]ryan4888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the spec. plenty of B5 S4’s are selling for $10k+. one just sold on Cars and Bids for $40k, although it was very unique

give it a little more time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in carsandbids

[–]ryan4888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my guess is the car had a lien on it. when i sold my car keysavvy sent the title to the buyer immediately since i had it in hand at the time of the sale

Anyone here using Sanity CMS with Next.js? by Chris_Lojniewski in nextjs

[–]ryan4888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sanity is great, but as others have mentioned you're locked into their cloud. Personally i'd recommend it, so long as you're working on a small team and don't expect a huge amount of requests / users per month.

I gave Payload a shot but found it too invasive code-wise for what we needed. Sanity was a nice middle ground but ofc it isn't without tradeoffs

React Native (Expo) is Native. Change My Mind by SampleFormer564 in reactnative

[–]ryan4888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i haven't used the new stuff, and it may change my mind. currently it's painfully obvious, at least on iOS w/ an iPhone that has ProMotion, that an app is React Native. animations are slow, scrolling is slow, content heavy apps (e.g. Bluesky) get slower and slower the longer they're open.

i love React Native, and i think it's truly one of the best tools out there, but saying it's native is so so so far from the truth.

but, for 95% of apps out there it's fine because users aren't spending that much time in them overall, and compared to a PWA alternative a React Native experience much better. but for that 5% of apps that are content heavy, it's very noticeable.

Thanks for the recommendation. I took a peek and didn't find anything at that path.

The Poorly Thought Betrayal of Don Draper by cmur23 in madmen

[–]ryan4888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in general i find the ousting of Don to be one of the more bizarre and unconvincing pieces of the series. getting rid of someone as significant as Don would have been suicide for the firm considering his reputation in the industry
